Hutch Top To Sofa Table | Easy Curbside Flips | Elegant Upgrades

- These pieces are so much fun to do! They are almost always free and have a quick turn around. This one took me a while to get started on because it’s quite a bit longer than the ones I typically pick up. But after some thought, I figured it would be an amazing sofa or hall table. Once I decided I could just paint and go- that’s exactly what I did.

I appreciate your direct way of teaching. Way too many folks on here talk and talk and talk..... This turned out so sweet.
I’m glad you appreciate my style of video, Kristina! I feel like I just talk and talk as well 😂 Thank you.
I love that you say things will tell you what they want you to do. I feel the same way. That’s why so many pieces or projects fail because they are forced and that doesn’t work. ❤️
Yes! I learned early on not to force my ideas on them 😂 They will win every time.
I'm so glad the younger generation is doing so much restoration. At 74 it really takes me back.
Watch your mail on Monday the 21st.
There are a lot of us right now it seems! It is great to be a part of such a talented community. I learned a lot of what I do from my parents and grandparents and I’m sure that’s how most of us start. I love being able to pass on the same knowledge to my son. And I’ll keep an eye out, Linda!!!
Linda! Thank you so incredibly much for the beautiful pulls and mini tool set. I have to tell you, my three year old son helps me open the mail and when he saw the tools he exclaimed, “Oh! They’re for meeee!!!” And it was just so cute. Mind you he has his own tool set already, but I guess I’ll be sharing these with him as well. I sent a thank you message on Amazon as well, but I wanted to throw it over here as well. I’m just so blown away by your thoughtfulness.
Great video! I got such a relief that others out there need to pause and take a break from pieces until the spark happens. I appreciate the genuineness you have! Thank you! Beautiful! Can’t wait to watch the rest of your channel!
Thank you, Heather! Yeah, you’re definitely not alone in that 😂 Sometimes they sit…for a while.
This hutch was really surprising. You turned it into a swan, for sure! You are the only other person I know of who waits for the furniture to tell you what it wants to be. That’s been my “problem” forever! Super cool that you sold those two pieces to the same person! Yay! Lovely hall/sofa table and a surprise video since it was just all of a sudden there!🌸
I’m just happy they tell us anything 😂 Otherwise I’d just be staring at them wondering what I’m supposed to do. And thank you! It’s was a very exciting day! Finished one piece a sold two. It’s a win, win, win.
Hello 👋 dear, how are you doing?
You did such a beautiful job! Love the colors! The blending is such a great job!👏💕
Thanks, Lynda! I do love blending 🥰
That lady is a perfect example of how awesome your work is regardless of the style. It’s like someone adopting a bulldog and a poodle! Haha! (I love all dogs so the comparison makes sense to me😁)
I never thought about using the top of a hutch as an entryway or sofa table. That’s brilliant!! Great job as usual!!
Haha, well thank you, Lizza. It just really made me want to peek inside her home and see what she was doing in there. And as far as dogs go, I’d take bulldog and a poodle together any day. Maybe not a yippie dog, though….those ones can have their little old ladies.
What a great idea to use the hutch top as a sofa or hall table!! The wallpaper is beautiful!!
Thank you, Caroline! Yeah, they sell pretty well for me! Everyone has caught on I see them everywhere - it’s so fun!
I had a mirror backed glass one. Took the back mirror off, put the hutch top on a large coffee table in front of my sunny living room window and now I have a beautiful greenhouse.
I love that! What a great idea!
It came out beautifully. The background noise just keeps things real👍🤗
Thanks for understanding, Blanca!
This is a really unique and beautiful method of painting. I admire it very much. I might have considered filling in the slots on the shelf with wood epoxy or something, just because they were distracting.
Thanks, Laura! They didn’t distract me at all, but if they had, I probably would have done a swooped cut to get rid of them over filling so much on an edge of a shelf. I love that there are so many ways to do things. Thanks for your input!
Hello from Australia! I just loved your work on this piece- so pretty, elegant and beautifully executed work!I'm not surprised you sold 2 pieces in one day ...AND to the same person! Your craftswomanship is superb. I wish you continued success.... you deserve it! Many Blessings , love and light. Esther x
Oh thank you so much, Esther! What a lovely comment to read. I’m so grateful you took the time to write it.
Especially love the natural wood stained top❤️
Me too, Kathy! I was so surprised by it when I started sanding. Lucky find under that paint.
Love your work and what a lovely smile lady you are, I will keep watching looking forward to more of your work, uk 🇬🇧
Thank you so much, Wendy! That’s very kind of you to say!
Hi! I just came across your video in my feed, and so glad I did! This piece is GORGEOUS! I love this! I'm definitely subbing, I'm thinking I can learn allot from you and just enjoy watching. You are amazing! Awesome work... thank you for sharing your work! 😊👋
Thank you so much, Joyce! So glad I popped up in your feed. Welcome! So happy to have you here 🥰
Thank you for sharing that you sold 2 pieces with us. That’s awesome & you’re right it’s really nice to see people like all different styles. I just love this piece and all the different mediums brought it together in a unique gorgeous way. 💖💕💝💞💖
I love sharing my journey with you all! And I do find it so interesting the multiple styles people like. I wanted to ask how she was going to design her space around them, but felt that would be a little much 😂 I’m just SO curious!
@@elegantupgrades I’m curious too 😂 it’s awesome she’s open to many different styles .. and She definitely knows an amazing artist’s work when she sees them.
🥰
It's interesting that you say you wait for the pieces to tell you what to do. As a writer, I often have to wait for my characters to tell me what happens next. Interesting how the creative process works. We think it's us, but it's not. It's the things were creating. And you do such an amazing job. This is gorgeous. I love that you kept the wood top. I'm kind of a conservative when it comes to natural wood.
Oh I love that it’s a similar situation for you! How fun! You’re right, it’s definitely not us- we have no control 😂 Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it.
Excelente trabajo, como siempre.
Ha quedado muy, muy bonito. ( Y hay que ver cómo estaba..! )
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
You made that poor girl , so beautiful!
Thank you!
Simply Lovely ~ You have reminded me I have a little shelving unit I want
to paint and make Pretty 🌿🌸🌿
Thank you! I love doing little shelves! They are always so easy, but have such a huge impact. I hope you love yours when you’re finished.
@@elegantupgrades Thank You 💛 I hope so too
so pretty. loved it....took a sows ear and turned it into a silk purse.
Thank you, Mary! I love that expression, cracks me up every time 😂
Love your work. Beyond furniture flipping; you’re an artist. Kudos.
Thank you very much, Gerald!
One of my favourites today , the stamps at the back really work , I love you’re process . You deserve all you’re sales ! You work so hard . I sold two to same person this week too , that’s a first for me , went around smiling all day . !
Caroline! Thank you for sharing your double sale with me!!! It’s so great to hear how you all are doing as well. And your first- that’s so so exciting! (with hopes of so many more in your future)
Thanks for the idea because I have door panels like yours and you gave me the idea to decoupage old newspaper into the panel area...
Oh I love that idea! Old newsprint would be so cool!
You have an artists eye for color; keep working girl!
Thank you, Cindy! I appreciate that!
I can see why that wall paper is a fav. Great save and reuse of an unwanted piece into a useful, beautiful piece!
Thanks! And yes, one day I’m going to do a whole wall in that wallpaper.
Ooh, love what you did with the backer and that stamp! And the paper. And the blend. Everything really, the details are what make your pieces so special. Beautiful work, Taryn!
Oh Jenn, you’re always so lovely. Thank you.
This lady has so much talent, just unbelievable. She always does a beautiful 😍 job.
That’s very nice of you, Susan. Thank you 🥰
Amazing job! So beautiful!
Thanks, Patricia!
You make it look easy.
This one was easy! That’s why I like them 😂 No repairs, nothing to cut up, no new top.
Another absolutely beautiful piece!! I love the color choices, wallpaper and beautiful wood stain on the top. I am always excited to see your new videos each week. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!❤️❤️
Thank you, Lisa! And thanks for coming back every week!
Oooooh I haven't finished watching the video yet but that rose paper is soooo gorgeous 😍
It’s my FAVORITE! One day I’ll have a feature wall of it.
The hutch looks great! We can find those all day long around us! Thanks for sharing!
Oh that’s great! Yeah, I always pick them up. The smaller ones that are more cabinet-like you can put legs on and they fly out the door.
It looks fabulous. I give u a lot of credit. U have some really good ideas.
Thanks, Chris!
@@elegantupgrades ill be for sure watching AGAIN......
Thank you! That’s so nice to hear.
At first, I was not understanding the stamps, especially the color, on the backer. I loved the backer itself, and I loved the hutch itself, but was questioning them together. But then you started with the colors and blending...Once the entire piece was done, I was blown away. Your vision was PERFECT. That's why you're the artist and I'm not 😄 Wonderful job. This video made me subscribe to your channel. Can't wait to see your next one!
Haha! Rebecca, I say a million times in my videos that I have to “trust the process” because it usually looks like a hot mess before it’s finished. I’m so happy to have you here, thank you for sticking around.
I have that exact wallpaper in my bathroom! Love it! It’s my favorite too!
What?! I’m so jealous! I want to do a feature wall with it one day.
@@elegantupgrades You should!!!
I just found you as well, what an amazing transformation! Well done! ❤️
Thank you, Ruthie! So glad you stumbled upon my little corner of the internet!
Well talk about turning a sows ear into a silk purse.......I would call your project a great success. I like the stamping and the wallpaper as a touch on interest.
Haha! That saying always gives me a laugh! Thank you, Doc!
This hutch is really lovely. The colors are delicate and the stamping of the backboard actually gave the piece the finishing touch!! You are a very talented artist Taryn. Congrats on both sales!!!
Thank you very much, Ana! I’m glad you liked the hutch. And the sales were such a joyful thing- thank you.
Love the color blend on this one, would look so good in my bedroom, I may actually try my first furniture blend. Thanks for all the ways to do them I've learned from you. I got a lump listening to how happy you were for the way dressers sold
I’m so glad you like it! And yes- please try it! It’s just paint, you can always change it if you don’t love it. Thank you for feeling the feelings with me 🥰
I got goose bumps on my arms listening to you having 2 diff pieces going to same home!!! 💓🕊💓
Gorgeous! Thank you for all you share🙏
Thank you again, Laurie! And thanks for making the rounds on my videos and leaving comments. I know time is valuable so it means a lot that you are spending some of yours here.
Do you ever suggest that a buyer look at the video of the original piece they purchase. I think that would be so cool. They can then see all the incredible work you put into their piece. I think they might treasure it more! So glad you sold the two pieces; imagine all your pieces sell quickly.
I haven’t yet. I have had buyers that bought an item from me because of a video and I thought that was really cool. I’m a bit shy about it 😂. If they had questions about the way I refinished a piece I would probably send them to a video.
very pretty, love the stenciling in the background.
Thank you, Mel. So glad you liked it.
How beautiful this table came out and Oh wow lil Man is growing Soo fast ..I Just Had enough time to finish watching your video (my granddaughter came to visit❣️) ....I Absolutely Love your furniture and videos ..Stay blessed sweetie as always 🥰👍❣️
I know! I’ve been trying to make him stop growing, but he’s not having it.😂 Thank you for always being here, Debra! I hope you had a beautiful day with your granddaughter.
@@elegantupgrades my granddaughter God willing will be moving closer to me...I don't leave house much as the pain I live with impairs my legs and feet with nerve damage and neuropathy and Levoscoliosis (lower spine has a curve)..so with her being closer to where I live will be Soo helpful for me to see her more...aww thank you 🥰👍
Wow, it came out beautiful.
Thank you, Joanne!
That’s a lovely piece for sure.
Thank you, Shannon ☺️
Como siempre precioso trabajo. Mi admiración por tus manos...🤩
Thank you so much, Rosa!
Turned out beautiful!
Thank you, Sylvia!
Hi ….loved seeing the smile of JOY when mentioning the lady bought two pieces…..how exciting! Love the color choices, paint, stain, wallpaper and stamps….so beautiful together! I have those stamps ….think they are so pretty….as always thank for sharing your inspirations and talents…..have a great week😊kim
Aren’t those stamps awesome?! I just love them. I’ll use them for a bit and then forget about them and when I bring them out again it’s like Christmas 😂
qqqqàq²😮😮😮
It turned out lovely!
Thank you, Toni!
That turned out beautiful. I adopted a hutch top from neighbor years ago, but for the storage space that I put on cabinets & countertop across from washer and dryer. I’m re-configuring and was thinking of donating to Goodwill, but I MAY try to put legs on it to raise it off the floor and figure out how to add doors to it (it’s all open) … you’ve DEFINITELY given me inspiration. ❤️❤️
I LOVE adding legs to them! It totally changes the look. You’ll have to let me know what you ended up deciding to do with yours. Glad I could throw some inspo your way. Thank you for watching and sharing with me, Collette!
Turned out really pretty!
Thank you, Violet!
Taryn this piece is such an inspiration. I tried blending again but got frustrated bc I thought I was messing it up. Should have kept at it! Thanks for sharing.
I’m so glad, Sarah! Yup, just add more time and more water and it usually turns out for me. I will say sometimes I have to switch arms because it can be a bit much 😂
Gotta say. . . when you were stamping the backboard with blue, I wondered where you going with this one, but I was trusting you to wow me per usual and you did!!
Oh I’m so glad I didn’t disappoint! I have to tell myself all the time to “trust the process” it will look worse before it looks better 😂
I hooked on your channel. First time and I've subscribed. Might binge on watching several.❤️❤️
Well that’s a compliment and a half! Thank you so much, Christie!
OMG you are just darling!! I sound old saying that but you really are so adept at these projects. I love how you also have "works in progress " at a standstill bc you are waiting for inspiration on a piece!! Story of my life!!!! Anyway, thanks for your knowledge and ideas to keep the rest of us on track. Patty K.
Thank you, Patty! I call people darling all the time and I refuse to call myself old 😂 I appreciate it. And yes! It’s so weird, sometimes the ideas just flow out with no issues at all and other times I’m at a loss and I’ve got to put Baby in a corner- I’m just glad I’m not the only one!
and Mrs T Wow great job so well done
Thank you so much!
it turned out very pretty!
Thank you! And thanks for making the rounds on my videos, I really appreciate it!
You make it look so easy😊
It is easy now, Candace. It took a bit to get here, but now I just have fun with it and don’t stress about it!
So very lovely!💖💖💖💖
Thank you, Glenda! 🥰
Oh !!!! LOVE THAT BEAUTIFUL WP
Thank you, Karen!
@@elegantupgrades hello thanks just saw ur comment...I sure wish I had a friend like you ...to help me at my house.....😔
Nice job on this! When you started using the blue I was like....not sure thats gonna work out but....I could then see some blue undertones in the leaves so that worked out well. I'm glad you're selling stuff! More space for more stuff! yay! (I always think of George Carlin and his routine on stuff! LOL)
Do you want anything other than coffee?
Ha! You think the way I do- more room for more stuff! I’ll have to look up the George Carlin routine. And I don’t need anything at all! Just you all being here, watching the video, commenting like you do is amazing. Thank you, Laura!
Beautiful
Thank you, Nancy!
Really nice save! 👍🏻💙💜
Thanks, Elizabeth! And thanks for making the rounds on my videos today! It’s fun seeing familiar names pop up.
That’s so beautiful
Thank you, Ramona!
Beautiful! Always romantic vibes! It was fortunate that you didn't have enough wallpaper because the top turned out so beautiful! Thanks for sharing. The way you film your videos doesn't do justice to your work. You are amazing and you should find a way to show it in your videos. Do more close up and slow motion when you edit. And maybe keep in the frame only the piece you are working on. I say these things with appreciation.
Thank you, Sophia! And I completely agree. However, until I don’t have my little guy with me all the time, or I get someone to help film or edit it probably won’t happen for a while. It is definitely something I’ve thought about, though.
Hi, You are really fun and inspiring to see so many techniques in action. Glad I stumbled upon you.
Thank you, Katharine! So glad you stumbled upon me as well, thanks for being here!
Beautiful beautiful
Thank you so much, Karen!
I know hutches are out of style but it adds a lot of storage. My sister's that shared a room had an old hutch we got from Goodwill on their shared dresser for years. There was not much room left with two beds in there so the hutch is were all the little extra crap went. Nail polish, jewelry, scrunchies, cheap dollar store fairy figurines etc.
I completely agree. I also really really love wardrobes as well, but no one wants them either. It makes me so sad.
So beautiful again 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you! Would you mind sharing your name so I can respond with it? I never know what to call you when I write back 😂 Of course, if you don’t want to I completely understand.
@@elegantupgrades my name is Barb & I really enjoy watching your creations.
If u don’t mind I do have a question…I have quite a few pieces of solid wood furniture plus some ikea wood veneer pieces too. Cos my place is small, these pieces are reasonably close to each other. Some of these pieces are stained dark wood & some have got a reddish stain to them & the ikea pieces are light veneered mdf. These pieces need refinishing, so could u suggest how I could paint or refinish them so that they don’t end up looking all the same and so my place doesn’t end up looking like a used furniture warehouse full of pieces all with different furniture finishes? If u’d like to see the pieces I’m talking about I could send pics to u in your Etsy store. Do u have any suggestions pls? Many thanx, Barb.
PS, I live in Sydney, Australia
Ah! Barb! That’s better. Thank you for sharing. And as far as the furniture goes- I would choose the wood tone I liked best and stick with that tone throughout. So the ones that could be stained or left wood, maybe keep a whole piece wood, another perhaps just the top wood and the ones that are light veneer you could paint those. Then I would choose one I would want to be the focal point - that’s the one I would do something really fun on, like decoupage or wallpaper or something like that. Then the other pieces you can pull colors from the focal piece, but keep them simple. I hope that makes sense!
That is gorgeous
Thank you, Chalma!
Spoon holder in shelf..neat
Congratulations on your sale very sweet.
Thank you so much! Sales are always exciting!
It's beautiful.
Thank you, Mel.
Enjoyed your video..great piece..hope it sells soon...hello from TEXAS
I’m so glad you liked it, Faye! Thank you!
Beautiful flip
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Debra!
Lovely!
Thank you, Jennifer!
Beautiful repurposing! Congratulations on your double sale! Both pieces were stunning!
Thank you, Moranda! It’s always so wonderful to make a sale, but two to the same person was just so cool!
Anaglypta would have been nice in the recessed areas. Maybe painted in two different colors. Paint the recessed areas one color, dark looks good and the areas in relief another color, light looks good, especially gold.
That would have looked great as well. I love anaglypta!
It’s pretty but odd since the sides or bottom look like it should be on a hutch… So I was just thinking that maybe you could cut the little side and bottom pieces off and then do the DIY Wife’s bottom with legs that she puts on side tables to add height and update a piece…I hope that made sense… I guess explaining a different way would be to cut it flat underneath where the doors are and then add her framing piece with the legs to make its own little buffet or side table.
I liked the strangeness of the bottom on this one, but I have done several others where I’ve added different types of legs and whatnot. It’s fun to mix things up. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment, Cindy!
Beautiful & delicate looking piece Taryn 💚
Thank you, Sue!
@@elegantupgrades You are most welcome lovely 💚
It has a lot of personality.
This turned out amazing 💖💖💖

Lovely.

Thank you, Kathy!
Beautiful as always. ❤️
Thanks, Tarnya! 😘
My first time watching you. I loved the transformation of this piece! I’m going to have to subscribe! 😀
Also, what did you use to put the wallpaper on? Poly?
I’m so happy to have you here, Karen! And glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, I use poly to apply most of my decoupage papers.
I love this piece, great job!
Thank you, Edna!
Soo lovely. Love it !!
Thank you so much, Teresa!
I would sugest to make a change in lover part. To add legs and bottom to make it look more grounded...
I usually cut off the bottom and add legs, but I actually liked the base of this one so I left it. And I’ve already done a few videos on it so I didn’t see a need. But you’re right, it usually takes them up a notch.
Love it! y did a wonderful i job
Thank you so much, Claudia!
You did a beautiful job on that piece
Thank you, Kathleen!
I would love to learn to flip furniture. Would have to look into it
It really is a fun thing. And there’s so much information out there now on how to get started!
Beautiful job as usual❣️
Thanks, LaVonne!
VERY nice job. Is there a concern that the bases stick out too far in front and create a tripping hazard? The bases might need their extra length to make the hutch stay upright though, so I don't know that cutting them back would work very well. The round knobs would have added nothing to the renovation. The ones you selected are more feminine and Baroque and go very nicely with the hutch. I could even see this used in a bathroom with rolled up towels on the shelves and bath and cosmetic products, even hair dryers, going in the cabinets, candles and more folded towels on top to make a vignette and a large mirror in a silver frame on the wall above it.
Thank you, Virginia! Ooooo, I love the idea of it in a bathroom with rolled towels! And the legs, since they are so low to the ground at the point they come out, shouldn’t be much of a tripping hazard. I’ve been working around it in the shop and haven’t had any issues. I also noted it in the listing with the measurements so folks know before they decide to purchase.
intriguing.
Thanks, Susan.
I love how you blend and shade colors. I see a lot of people using chalk paint. Have you ever used acrylic or other types if paint in your blends instead of chalk paint?
I’ve used some acrylic paints on smaller items. I think you can blend with most paint if you can get to know the best way to blend it. Each paint has a mind of its own and some are easier to work with than others. But if you have one you like, I’d just play around with it.
@@elegantupgrades that makes sense. Thank you. Do you find that the chalk paints blend better for larger peices?
Sure a pretty job
Thank you, Risa!
Glass would be nice in the top doors.
I agree, Melody. Glass would have been lovely.
